Which BTW to me is not "hitting 200 mph" but driving a flying mile at 200... big difference from "hitting" 200....

I have read of this event and you are very correct, alot of the cars barely or don't make it through the cruise section of the event. Lets face it a drag car is a drag car, they are very specific to a task. At least when you are building a PT car it has similar atributes to a road/track car, stance wide tires ect. The drag race guys HATE turns!
